DWP Design System Filter Component Research Notes
Documents filter state research, including applied-filter summaries near results, result counts, clear-all behavior, no-filter, no-result, and synchronized versus unsynchronized filter states.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter panel | Choose a filter panel when users need grouped controls for narrowing the current result set by several criteria. | Each filter category has a clear label and contains controls appropriate to the value type, such as checkboxes, radios, ranges, date fields, or text fields. | DWP research documents explicit applied-filter state, result counts, clear-all controls, and synchronization between controls and results. |
| Filter reset that clears unrelated search | Flag this anti-pattern when a filter reset clears or changes query text, submitted search, search scope, saved search identity, search history, sort order, page size, view mode, selected rows, or route context that is not visibly part of the filters. | Every reset control names the state it changes. | Documents selected filters, result counts, clear-all controls, and filter/result synchronization. |
